  • But as these businesses have grown and gained popularity, security issues have also surfaced. Fears over identity theft, account theft, phishing (typically sending out fake e-mails that copy the appearance of trustworthy Web sites in order to dupe unsuspecting customers into giving out sensitive information) or buying faulty or broken products have always been a problem for eBay.

  • For $US100, the website provided Cioni, then living in northern Virginia, with the password to her boyfriend's AOL email account. For another $100, she got her boyfriend's wife's password. And then the password of another girlfriend and the boyfriend's children.
  • Federal US law prohibited hacking into email, but without further illegal activity it was only a misdemeanour, said Orin Kerr, a law professor at George Washington University.
  • All the services advertise that they will email a screenshot of the target's inbox or even send an email from the target's account as proof that they've cracked the password.
